Unless it's calibrated be aware that most cheap "noise meters" are only good for relative measurements e.g. measure with your
standard exhaust can, switch it to a new can and re-measure to see if it's higher or lower. Keeping a noise meter properly calibrated
isn't cheap....

Maplins sell them for not a lot of money (£20ish) can't vouch for the accuracy but their stuff's normally quite good.

I just bought the £20 maplin one as I have a trackday coming up soon.
0.5m 45deg from the exhaust it peaked at 120db at 4.5K rpm!!! That cannot be right... the car hasnt done many miles since passing msv's noise
test at bedford and after a quick look the packing in the can seems ok.
noticed the maplin one measures dbc so hopefully a dba measurement will be lower

my maplin one has settings for all sorts and i'm sure dba is there.
(although it did cost twice what yours cost and hasn't been used yet!)
